The Lower Bridge Scheme.
I tie Enatttr of tr.e permanent road to
the lower end of the county and
the bridging of the Rock near tbe mouth
of the Hennepin canal was then brought
up and W. B. Ferguson, the chairman.
made an exhaustive report of the recent
trip of the committee over the proposed
route and of tbe magnitude of the work
Accompanying the report of the commit
tee was unothtr from Engineer Darling.
who sccompanieu tbe party on its tour
if inspection, in which be estimated tbe
pr.ibatile ccst of the proposed highway
tna oi me Dnnge across tne hock. ae
estimates the cost cf the roadway above
high water mark at from $20,000 to $30 -
300, and of an iron bridge at from J30
J00 to $40.00-). Rev. Thomas Mackin
a(!d.-KfcseJJ tbe association, strongly fa
voring the!?propofed project, which he
lid would be cf incalculable benefit to
the city in different ways, and also to tbe
farmi rs in the lower end of the county.
Particularly would the road be of bcii-tr.
when tne Hennepin canal was com
pitted, as then the city would have ready
coinmucication with that portion of th
county.
E. H. Gayer then ppoke at seme length
on the sameflubject in wfcich lie men
tioned that such a project would have
Lis hearty support. He thought it would
be a step towr.rd abolishing the toils tha
are now chanted across the Rock river
briJi:e as under the existing 'laws a toll
bridge could not te established . He f-.
ored tbe proposed roadwaj, !ut thought
a pontoon bridge that would probably
cost about $4,000, could be put ia for toe-
present and wLen the canal is finished
the Terminal company would no do'jbl
gladly avail itself of tbe opportunity to
build switches at that point and also an
iron bridge.
Mayor McConocbie also spoke on lie
DroDOsed project, but was not sure that
the $30,000 for tbe roadway out of tne
citv could be raised voluntarily. He
also was or tbe opinion mat a perm
nent brieve should be built if any kind
was undertaken. However, he was in
favor of anything that would accrue to
tbe city's benefit.

During the past two weeks strange men
have been noticed by several persons up
town at unseasonable hours. List night
shortly after 9 o'clock a stranger created
quite a disturbance at the residence of

ple of young ladies had been at tbe bouse
vis'tin? during tbe evening and had just
stepped out on the porch on their way
home when a stranger made a rush at
them and attempted to catch hold of
them. The young ladies ran back into
the h ;use and in bis rush tbe fellow
bro&e one of the panes nf glass in the
frontdoor. An alarm was given to the
neighbors and tbe scoundrel disap
peared. His only object weired to be to
frighten tbe latlie. Tho police were
notified but Mrs. Cook stated today that
when she asked that an t ffloer be de
tailed to watch the house during the
night she ws refused it by the chief of
police, Tbe front door was in such
shtpe that it cou'd not be locked during
